Point taken, but being XP has been out for many years already, they have already issued another OS, they are issuing MS 7, in regardless that it is software and bugs will happen, the fact that a large corporation has trouble learning from it's mistakes is mind blowing. Irony was probably the wrong word, sarcasm world more closely describe my statement.
Several facts:
People heat thier houses and cool thier houses, both of which input additional heat into atmosphere.
People drive cars and other equipment that produce heat regardless of fuel source.
The effect of less ice on the ocean will increase the rate of ice melt.
As glaciers get smaller thier thermal mass is reduced and the rate at which they melt increases. So the fact that the glaciers are melting at an increased rate should not be supprizing.
The temperature of the earth always changes, no scientist can tell you what the temperature of the globe is supposed to be, because they don't know. There is only trustworthy data going back 200 years, and only good scientific data going back 50 years. Any assumption of temperature prior to this is based on vegitation and glaciers, which change constantly.
Increased CO2 and water vapor in the atmosphere likely ingreases global solar absorbtion, but no scientist will specifically identify the amount that it contributes to global warming because they don't know. If there was a reduction in CO2 levels to pre-1906 levels it probably wouldn't stop global warming.
Increased solar activity causes increases in global temperature.
Increased particulate matter (or dust for those of you with little brain matter) causes decreases in global temperature.
Glaciers either expand or receed. I am not a scientist and I don't know much about global weather or temperature, but I would prefer live in a time when glaciers are receeding.
Boys are gooder at math, I boy, I like math. Maybe me not good at english, but maybe girls better at word knoledge.
Really, schools are dumbing down math. I graduated in 1996, and I didn't own a calculator until I was in grade 9. I went to university, and now as an engineer I perform calculus on a calculator that wouldn't be acceptable for a grade 6 math program.
The new graduates, who should be able to pull Maxwell's equations out from memory, like reciting their own name, they "axe me", "who the hell is Maxwell, and why do I need his equations?"

You obviously don't know the first thing about irony.
I think they should fix all problems with their software before selling it...wait, who are we talking about here? Sorry I forgot, it's Microsoft.
I think Organizations shouldn't buy an inferior product...wait, who are we talking about here? Sorry I forgot it's the Air Force.
What is this Linix thing you guys are talking about? Yours Truely, People Living in the Real World
